Global Shop Solutions ERP Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Global Shop Solutions ERP encompasses most of our business. We use it for cost tracking, inventory movements, accounting, quality, and more. Out of the box, Global Shop Solutions ERP solves most business problems. We've been able to implement custom solutions using Global Shop Solutions ERP's GAB programming language and continue to find ways to customize the software and make it more meaningful for our company.

We've run Global Shop Solutions ERP in several different business models and all of them have worked well. Repair: this is primarily customer supplied material, always new situations that are assessed AFTER the product arrives. Job Shop: These jobs are less guesswork, but still different every time. Engineering BOM's: These are a lot of assembly, less machining, but a huge amount of work in setting up the BOM's. Repeat Jobs: There are slight variations, but the overall process remains the same for all parts. In all 4 business situations Global Shop Solutions ERP has been able to meet the need, albeit differently. This is the strongest indicator that Global Shop Solutions ERP will work in MOST situations. Their flexibility makes everything possible.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed a unified solution to run our shop, collect costs, track employee time, and manage sales orders and shipping. Global Shop Solutions ERP provides that platform. Using Global Shop Solutions ERP's capabilities, we've been able to reduce the amount of time needed for things as varied as payroll and cost report. And using Global Shop Solutions ERP helps eliminate inadvertent errors.

I love that Global Shop Solutions ERP is more accessible than many bigger (and thus more locked-down) ERP systems. This means that I can quickly write custom reports from our data tables without having to pay someone else to do it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a manufacturer of secondary packaging equipment (case packers, case erectors, palletizers), we rely on Global Shop Solutions ERP for end-to-end operations in our made-to-order environment. Daily activities include sales quoting and order entry, engineering importing CAD BOMs, planners, shop floor jobs, assemblers clocking time and reporting progress via terminals, inventory teams issuing materials, and managing purchasing/receiving, and shipping coordinating deliveries. The system solved long-standing issues such as inaccurate inventory which led to poor visibility into job costs, scheduling delays, and disconnected departments.

Our scope is comprehensive, utilizing most modules: quoting, BOM, engineering integration, inventory, advanced planning/scheduling, shop floor data collection, quality, purchasing, job costing/accounting, and shipping. Global Shop Solutions ERP provides real-time visibility to all of our departments, ensuring accurate material/labor tracking and it has really helped us get control of the balance of our physical inventory and inventory dollars.

We have already met with three companies in our region and hosted them for several hours to see how we utilize Global Shop Solutions ERP in our daily work. This speaks to our satisfaction with the software, as well as our ongoing commitment to the notion that if you want to learn something well, learn to teach it. We have a great group of users here who participate in the weekly Friday Features and who try to utilize all of the modules to their full effect to benefit not only individual workflows, but to help the entire company output. It is well suited in our experience for manufacturing. That is the only scenario where we have experience or where we feel we can make a judgement call.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our business operates in a highly specialized area of manufacturing, providing turnkey solutions tailored to the unique requirements of our clients. Because many of our workflows are customized and differ from conventional production processes, most off-the-shelf ERP systems are unable to fully support them and often require us to make significant changes to fit their limitations. In contrast, GSS has been able to adapt to our operations and accommodate our specific needs, helping us automate many of our processes effectively. Furthermore, their team not only implements solutions that align with our business model but also advises and corrects us when certain practices can be improved, ensuring that our systems run more efficiently and in line with best practices.

If your business requires handling multiple currency exchange rates or if the software you use lacks user-friendliness, you may encounter limitations—especially in companies that process hundreds of records daily, where some systems struggle to maintain performance and stability. However, if your needs involve warehouse management, expert guidance in improving shop floor workflows, or specialized manufacturing support, GSS truly stands out. Their team has the experience and capability to design efficient, practical solutions that align with real operational challenges in manufacturing environments.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a mid-size manufacturing organization, we use Global Shop Solutions ERP as an end-to-end ERP solution, managing most aspects of our business including quotes, orders, shop floor routing and control, inventory, and accounting.

Likelihood to Recommend

Global Shop Solutions ERP would be an OK fit for small to medium size manufacturing operations with requirements for strong shop floor control tools and ability to write customizations for the interface. The program is probably overkill for very small environments and will probably be outgrown by larger businesses that need scalability and integrations with platforms outside the ERP.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use AP, AR, Payroll to name a few.

Likelihood to Recommend

For a first time ERP user, I was intimidated by the system, but once you get acclimated to the process, it's not that bad.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We would not be doing business if we wouldn't have Global Shop Solutions ERP. Most of our employees would quit if we didn't have it anymore. It does everything for us from Customer Service to organizing shop flow & detailed Financial statements. A huge thing for us is that we know the exact cost for every single job before it even leaves our dock. We know exactly where we are making money and where we are losing and can adjust accordingly.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are involved with manufacturing this is a great solution. It does an excellent job of tracking costs for each and every job. We do thousands of jobs per month, big and small and each one is captured accurately. It keeps jobs flowing smoothly & is very nice to add details for specific steps on each job station.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Global Shop Solutions to help cost out our products. In the past, this was just a guess. With this software, we can determine how much it costs to manufacture a part from start to finish. We use Global Shop Solutions from "quote to cash". Almost every aspect of Global Shop Solutions is used in one way or another. It has helped us in our shipping department to palletize and mark our shipments better than we had in the past. It has also helped considerably with our inventory issues. We now know how much inventory we have on hand and where it is located.

Likelihood to Recommend

I like the SFDC screens for the manufacturing floor. There is no need for licenses for these and the amount of information that is available suits our needs. We somtimes have rush orders and it seems to take more time to collect data in Global Shop Solutions than it does to make the parts

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Global Shop Solutions to do our daily transactions including tracking work orders, inventory, shipping, receiving, purchasing, and everything in between. Global Shop Solutions provide clarity with our inventory values, helps quote by providing estimates and actuals for each job, and track employee performance. The new automatic purchasing screen provides a quick overview of everything making it easy to purchase goods within one screen, quickly and efficiently.

Likelihood to Recommend

Global Shop Solutions is well suited for the quote to cash process, making it easy for a single user to run through all the steps, it is less appropriate in helping with payroll and tracking employee training.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a small job shop and utilize Global Shop Solutions for scheduling jobs, tracking inventory and movement throughout the shop, and KPI data to see how we are performing. Without an ERP, we would still be stuck manually tracking everything. Global Shop Solutions helps us save time and ensures that our outputs are as accurate as possible.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have had a good overall experience with Global Shop Solutions. Even when there are areas that lack, they are very responsive and open to improving their product. I don't know of any other ERP where you can call the CEO directly out of the blue to express concerns and/or give praise for their company and employees.
